Pretty self explanatory.

Don't know if it's the same issue, but I get the following error in 
v1.1.4141.28255 when attempting to open any VS 2008 SLN (might be related to 
running on Win 7 64?):

I don't have any VS 2005 SLN files to compare with.

Hi yes, the error you're seeing is exactly related to this issue.  The tool has 
to parse the .sln and .csproj files, but it doesn't like the format of such 
files which are newer than VS2003 (IIRC).  We need to add support for newer 
file formats, which shouldn't be too hard.  Patches welcome :)

Hey there,

will this ever be updated. Just found out about this (potentiallz) awesome 
tool, but it doesn't work with my VS2013 (or VS2010) files. Would be very cool!

I haven't looked into this. The fix should be straightforward, and a patch 
would be welcome.

If you don't wish to fix this you could point the application at your 
application's DLL files instead or your SLN file.

merge with #9

[drewnoakes]

@jeremysimmons are these the same? This issue is about support for parsing newer versions of the .sln file format, and #9 is about being able to read metadata from assemblies compiled for newer versions of the .NET runtime. They definitely related, but could be tracked and completed separately.

[drewnoakes]

Fixed.
